Ohina-sama doll from a set of hina ningyō (Girl’s Day dolls). This figure is one of the Dairi-bina, the imperial couple representing the Emperor and Empress, traditionally displayed on the uppermost tier of the tiered hina dan. As the central figures in the ensemble, they hold the highest symbolic significance within the Hinamatsuri festival display. It comes with a two piece 3.25"x12"x8.25" base.

Hina dolls are central to the Japanese celebration of Hinamatsuri, or Girls’ Day, held annually on March 3rd. These elaborately crafted figures—typically arranged in tiered displays—represent the imperial court of the Heian period and are imbued with deep cultural and symbolic significance. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Hina dolls serve as guardians of tradition, embodying prayers for the health, happiness, and prosperity of young girls. Their presence within Japanese domestic and ritual life reflects a profound reverence for lineage, seasonal rites, and the continuity of beauty across generations. The common way of displaying hina dolls is to place them on a seven-tier dankazari dolls stand covered with a red carpet.
